Ego Elimination Notes - (2994)

Introduction

The sense of invalid efforts or of an invalid day accompanied by a tinge of anxiousness or restlessness is our essence telling us that we must do something that counts.

In our current state what counts more than the elimination of the ego? Nothing right.

Master Samael says that any spiritual attempt that does not take into account the dissolution of the ego is doomed to fail. So our spiritual attempts of the day to be worthy must take into account the dissolution of the ego.

Working on the elimination of any ego soothes that anxious and hollow like feeling of 'not doing anything substantial'.


Divine Mother - Prayer, KRIM and Imagination

Praying to the Divine Mother, the mantra KRIM and imagination is a powerful combination when it comes to the dissolution of the ego.

Seeing the ego we want dissolved and seeing it in our imagination becoming weaker and seeing the equanimity that ensues is a good use of our imagination.

As we work on dissolution, the ego becomes gradually smaller and less and less harmful.

One day it gets so small and harmless that it is like a baby. Strangely enough we can feel a touch sentimental about it and stop the work of  dissolution. The essence that the ego contains is so much more beautiful and valuable that we must press on seeking out its total dissolution.

Freed Essence

The essence recently freed from the ego is very weak and needs treatment. It is very groggy.

Our Divine Mother along with our efforts provide the newly freed essence with this treatment.

Our effort lies in forgetting the ego and using the virtues of the essence to solve the situations where that ego would have normally appeared.

The recently freed essence will find its way back to union with the body of the free essence we have.

The recently freed essence needs to be awakened, when it is awakened it will shed completely any memory of the conditioning it has been subjected to for years, while in the bottle of the ego.

Dying

When the ego is dying or has died, as natural as can be, we no longer despair, cry, worry, fret, get upset, become agitated and tense, where we use to be before. Now in those circumstances we feel balanced and remain in a state of equanimity.

To protect ourselves from temptation we need the death of the ego. Nothing protects better than the dissolution of the ego.

When tempted and the ego is dying we just don't feel like it and loses interest very quickly.

Ego: a Shell, Structure, Form which Traps a Fragment of Essence

The ego is nothing more than a container of a fraction of essence. It is a shell or a bottle. When we pray to the Divine Mother she breaks the shell so that the free essence can escape.

The ego then is an astral, mental and causal kind of crystallisation. It is a astral, mental and causal  structure or form made from atoms of those dimensions. In other words it is a molecular structure.

The Divine Mother Being an electronic force is able to separate those atoms of the molecular structure so that it can be dissolved.

The recently freed essence contains invaluable information about how it became trapped in the ego. In other words it has valuable information about the secret enemy which the free essence uses to increase its depth of understanding of the ego - the 'myself'.

If we want something new to develop in us or be born in us, something must die first of all.

End (2994).

Attention with Mind, Attention with Essence - (5197)

These two attentions are different. Attention with the mind tires the brain. and reduces the flow of life into steps, where it is inevitable that the narration of the mind begins to take over. With the awareness of steps comes a certain tediousness and the feeling of the flow of life leaving us behind. With the attention of mind very little of what's behind events comes to us... Attention with the essence brings the power of presence, in other words brings a certain depth and continuity of flow  Attention with the essence doesn't tire or strain and opens doorways into perceiving what is behind events and the thoughts and feelings that appear within us. It allows us also to flow with the flow of life, which is a pleasant feeling. Conclusion, make the essence bring attention to outer and inner life. End (5197).

The Sacred Substance Askokin - (962)

Introduction In simple terms, the sacred Askokin substance is the result of the mercury and the sulphur. It is the transmuted energy that crystallises to form the internal bodies (astral, mental and causal). In other words, it is the transmutation of our sexual energies. The Abrustdonis’ and ‘Helkdonis that Gurdjieff mentions in the excerpt below, taken from “Belzeebub’s Tales to His Grandson” are none other than the elements of mercury and the sulphur so spoken about in Alchemy. Excerpt on the Sacred Substance Askokin “I first learned that the destiny of beings arising on this planet of yours is chiefly to elaborate—by means of the process of their existence—the vibrations required by Nature for the maintenance of those former parts of the planet now called Moon and Anulios, when, do you remember, I became worthy personally to converse for the second time with His Conformity the then still Angel, but now Archan...

Wisdom from the Movie “Kingdom of Heaven” - (2168)

Introduction There are some movies that leave you with some pieces of advice that at point or another in your life or in the lives of others prove useful. This movie: “Kingdom of Heaven” was terrible to watch (too many battle scenes and people dying) but offered some very useful messages. In this post, I have presented a few, that have come in handy at point or another. Just to give you a bit of context, the movie is about the crusades, where the French and English were trying to defend the “Holy City” – Jerusalem from Islamic occupation. The topic of religion and God is a constant theme in the movie. It is very violent though, matching it frankly, quite awful to watch. Your Soul is in Your Keeping Alone An interesting dialogue between the French appointed king of Jerusalem and French Knight, the protagonist of the movie. Note, the king wears that metal mask because he has leprosy. King Baldwin I...
